The mathematical theory of equilibrium cracks in brittle fracture

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a unified view of the way basic problems in the theory of equilibrium cracks are formulated and discuss the results obtained thereby, and the object of the theory is the study of the equilibrium of solids in the presence of cracks.

The partition of unity finite element method: Basic theory and applications

TL;DR: In this article, the basic ideas and the mathematical foundation of the partition of unity finite element method (PUFEM) are presented and a detailed and illustrative analysis is given for a one-dimensional model problem.

Theory of mechanical properties of fibre-strengthened materials: I. Elastic behaviour

TL;DR: In this article, the main overall elastic moduli of fiber composites with transversely isotropic phases are connected by simple universal relations which are independent of the geometry at given concentration.

Compression-induced microcrack growth in brittle solids: Axial splitting and shear failure

TL;DR: In this paper, the elasticity boundary value problem associated with cracks growing from the tips of a model flaw is solved, and the variations of the "ultimate strength" and the orientation of the overall fault plane with confining pressure are estimated.
